RUMORED BLOWING UP
OF NEW YORK SCOUTED
American Line Officials Declare
Report of Destruction of
Liner Lacks Foundation,
NEW YORK, May 8.
American Line officials this afternoon
scouted a rumor which they admitted
was In circulation locally that the steam
eWp New York, of their .line, due In
Liverpool tomorrow, had been torpedoed.
The Hue officials declared they had had
absolutely no word from their London of
fice and were not worried by the rumor,
which they attributed to nervousness In
cidental to the Lusitania disaster.
The Philadelphia, of the Amerloan Line,
passed out of tho Narrows shortly
after noon.
David Lindsay, of the American Line,
was emphatic in his declaration that the
company bad not receld a line from
any point which, would substantiate the
rumor In even the slightest degree. He
said that at the present time the New
York was not yet within the Irish, Sea
He said h! line received telephone In
quiries regarding rumors, naming vlr
tually every ship In the International
Mercantile Marine Lines, many of which
were manifestly absurd, since the eb'ps
they concern were either tied up at
raeU-iV or In mld-oeaan.

Berlin Newspapers, in Colossal Type,
Proclaim Tragedy Master Stroke of
Policy Bryan Calls for Statement
From Imperial Government Britain
Appalled at Disaster.
High-power Torpedoes of Specially Deadly
Type Hurled at Liner Two Lethal Missiles
Pierced Ship's Double Skin and Explosion
Tore Out Vitals Vessel Heeled Over, Ren
dering Lifeboats on Side Attacked Useless.
While England and America are grief-stricken at the tragedy of tho
torpedoed Lusitania, all Germany is rejoicing at a master stroke of the Yon
Tirpltz policy of extermination of Britain on the seas.
According to a Copenhagen dispatch the Berlin newspapers today pro
claim in headlines of colossal type the torpedoing of tho Lusitania and declare
that Germany has registered a new triumph for her naval policy.
The editorial comment generally declares that England received what
she deserved.
The Cunard Line this afternoon announced that the total casualties in tho
loss of the Lusitania were 134 6, according to the latest figures available.
Tho figures mode public are as follows:
Total number carried, 204 0.
Total passengers on board, 1 1 91X.
Crew on board, 8 50.
Number of dead landed, 4 6.
Number of fatalities feared, 1 8 4-fl.
Of the 188 Americans listed as passengers on the Lusitania, 132 are
believed to have drowned or been killed by the explosion that shattered tho
great liner.
Virtually all the prominent Americans who sailed on tho Lusitania were
still unaccounted for when the company issued its statement, and it was
feared that Alfred G. Vnnderbilt, 'Charles Frohman, Elbert Hubbard and
Charles Klein had perished.
Tho Admiralty announced this afternoon that 4 5 additional survivors
from the Lusitania had been landed at Qucenstown from a drifter. Six
hundred and fifty-eight had been previously reported.. This brings tho
number of known rescued up to 703, according to Admiralty figures.
Forty-five bodies have been landed at Queenstown, according to tho
Admiralty, which bases its statistics on an earlier report that tho Lusitania
had 2160, instead of 204 0, souls on board.
The latest Admiralty report states it has abandoned hope that any of
the 14 67 passengers and sailors still missing have been rescued.
Secretary Bryan has forwarded to Ambassador Gerard a request for a
statement from the commander of the submarine.
LONDON. May 8.
Known survivors of the Lusitania now
total 703, according: to the Admiralty.
The mlsslns number Is set at H57,
and It Is feared that the final death llBt
of the plant liner, torpedoed by a Ger
man submarine off the south coast of
Ireland yesterday afternoon, will be In
the neighborhood of that number. The
Cunard Company's figures are 1316 casu
alties. The Admiralty Issued an announce
ment this morning saying that only 6M
persons were known to have been res
cued. Seven hours later it Issued an
other statement saying that 45 more
survivors had reached QueenBtown. The
additional rescues were made by a
drifter.
Reports as to tha number of Amer
leans who perished are conflicting-, rang
ing from 0 to 141. Alfred O. Vander
bUt, Charles Krohroan, Charles Klein
and Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Hubbard have
been given up for dead. The latest esti
mation of American dead Is U2.
AnUcIpatlng that Germany will claim
that the Lusitania was technically a
warship, the Admiralty Issued a state
ment denying1 that tha liner was armed.
The following dispatch from the United
State Consulate at Queenstown was re
ceived at the American Embassy at 1:15
o'clock this afternoon.
"Captain Turner saved. T?tal num

of these died In the hospitals after being
brought ashore Others, rendered help
less by their wounds, quickly drowned
when the ship went down and they were
thrown Into the water. The Germans are
believed to have used special torpedoes of
extra high power against the Lusitania.
The missiles pierced the double skin of
the great liner, tearing out the ship's
vitals. The liner heeled over with such
suddenness that the lifeboats on the side
where the torpedoes had entered could
not be launched. This was another factor
that entered Into the heavy loss of human
life.
